Hi:

Withison and Widdinson are mis-spellings of Widdowson .... so you are right on with the marriage, children etc.

Family lore has it that Mfr. Thiomas Dickinson's wife came from Scotland - perhaps Mackintosh clan.

Margaret.

Hi:

You are so fast at finding facts that I have searched for ages to locate.

The Canning Street addy and names of children are correct.... and the Margaret, wife of Thomas, born in Scotland would fit in with family lore ... if I sent for their wedding cert. would that give her maiden name?

Margaet.

Hi Polly P with X B on:

That would be the daughter Margaret's family : tis her Mom's maiden name which eludes us. I am sure she was a Macintosh, but have no other proof beyond family stories and they are all gone now.

Brilliant Travelman - I am convinced that Isabella McIntosh is the name because among all the common names in the family there is an Isabella later on. Fantastic ; no-one ever knew until now.

So at last I have her name : I imagine she will be buried in Hull somewhere and when I am over visiting my Kingdom this year I shall look her up.

You are all brilliant and I cannot thank you enough.

I will send for certificates now I have so much information.

Happy New Year to all : Margaret.
